The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We analyze the distribution of kurtis sold across six stores. A pie chart shows the percentage each store contributes to total sales, and a table (not provided, implied) details the linen-to-cotton kurtis ratio for each store.

Total kurtis sold: 84,000. The pie chart percentages are:

  • Store A: 16%
  • Store B: 22%
  • Store C: 8%
  • Store D: 12%
  • Store E: 28%
  • Store F: 14%

Step 1

Calculate kurtis sold by stores D and E.

Store D kurtis = \( 84,000 \times \frac{12}{100} = 10,080 \)

Store E kurtis = \( 84,000 \times \frac{28}{100} = 23,520 \)

Step 2

Determine linen and cotton kurtis using the given ratios.

For Store D, linen-to-cotton ratio is 5 : 3 (5 linen for every 8 kurtis):

Store D linen = \( \frac{5}{8} \times 10,080 = 6,300 \)

Store D cotton = \( \frac{3}{8} \times 10,080 = 3,780 \)

For Store E, linen-to-cotton ratio is 4 : 3 (4 linen for every 7 kurtis):

Store E linen = \( \frac{4}{7} \times 23,520 = 13,440 \)

Store E cotton = \( \frac{3}{7} \times 23,520 = 10,080 \)

Step 3

Calculate the average number of linen and cotton kurtis sold by D and E together.

Average linen:

\( \frac{6,300 + 13,440}{2} = \frac{19,740}{2} = 9,870 \)

Average cotton:

\( \frac{3,780 + 10,080}{2} = \frac{13,860}{2} = 6,930 \)

Step 4

Calculate the difference between the averages.

Difference (linen - cotton):

\( 9,870 - 6,930 = 2,940 \)

Answer: (1) 2,940.

Comprehension Read the following passage and answer the next three questions:
To what extent reasoning can _____ (I) _____ a reliable basis for a theory of justice is, of course, itself an issue that has been subject to controversy. ______ (II) ______ first chapter of this book is (III). with the role and reach of reasoning. I argue against the plausibility of seeing emotions or psychology or instincts as independent sources of valuation, without reasoned appraisal. Impulses and mental attitudes remain important, however, since we have good reasons to take note of them in our assessment of justice and injustice in the world. There is no irreducible conflict here, I argue, between reason and emotion, and there are very good reasons for making room for the relevance of emotions. In the above passage there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Find out the appropriate option in each case to replace the given numbers.

Read the following passage and answer the next two questions.
Education, taken in its most extensive sense, is properly that which makes the man. One method of education, therefore, would only produce one kind of man; but the greater excellence of human nature consists in the variety of which it is capable. Instead then, of endeavouring, by uniform and fixed systems of education, to keep mankind always the same, let us give free scope to everything which may bid fair for introducing more variety among us. The varied character of the Athenians was certainly preferable to the uniform character of the Spartans, or to any uniform national character whatever. Uniformity is the characteristic of the brute creation. Among them every species of bird builds its nest with the same materials and in same form; the genius and disposition of one individual is that of all and it is only the education which men give them that raises any of them much above others. But it is the glory of human nature that the operations of reason, through variable and by no means infallible, are capable of infinite improvement. We come into the world worse provided than any of the brutes; but when their faculties are at a full stand and their enjoyments incapable of variety or increase, our intellectual powers are growing apace; we are perpetually deriving happiness from new sources, and even before we leave this world, are capable of tasting the felicity of angels.
